Fiona – Boy Toy (Shit Like That Dubstep Remix)

fiona

If your like us and you like to spend your days pondering the future of music, then looking forward to the next wave of pop stars, Germany’s Fiona seems to fit a likely picture. Take this fresh dub refix on her debut single “Boy Toy”. It hits hard, it has the hooks, and it’s got a story. In other words it’s not hard to believe that Fiona was a member of former German girl group Lollipops, but it is pretty shocking that she’s only 15 years old! Artist for the radar.

RAVE’S FAVE: Pete Molinari – Streetcar Named Desire

petemolinari

Pete Molinari hails from the UK. This song was brought onto my Moheak Music Meeting show and got a unanimous thumbs-up. It’s a feel good track with an old school country vibe. Not what you will usually find in this space, but that’s the idea. Contributed by Bruce Rave

The Killers offer their new take on U2’s “Ultra Violet (Light My Way)” via Q magazine’s 20th anniversary covers album for Achtung Baby. Kudos to Flowers on his Bono-esque delivery. More at Q.

She & Him – Baby It’s Cold Outside

averysheandhimxmas

A track truly worthy of the James Brown Christmas wreath. Yeahhh… you know James would totally kick it with Zooey Deschanel! This cover of “Baby It’s Cold Outside” is courtesy of she and Mr M. Ward and is my girlfriend (aka #superfan) Nessa’s pick from the band’s new A Very She & Him Christmas collection. This new version is a bit chirpier than Zooey’s earlier take on the track with Leon Redbone from the ELF soundtrack back in 2003. We think you’ll like it!

Kris Mars – Conversation With Myself

Kris Mars flips the classic XX “Intro” and it takes. No denying “Conversation With Myself” is hungry.

RAVE’S FAVE: Thomas Dolby – Spice Train

thomasdolby

I was Dolby’s A&R guy at Capitol when “She Blinded Me With Science” came out. The Golden Age of Wireless album was already released but when Thomas played “Science” for me, there was no way we could wait. I suggested a special release for “Science” which Thomas agreed to. The song went to #3. His first studio album in 20 years drops today. It’s really good but mostly pretty quiet. The dancy “Spice Train” contains lots of the fun we remember Thomas for. It’s so good to have him back and making fine music again. Sure I’m biased but if you’re a Dolby fan, I doubt you’ll fault me for this pick. Contributed by Bruce Rave

JMSN – Alone

jsmn

If you dig anything The Weeknd is doing with pop music, shit if you dig slow jams with soul then you need to give “Alone” a spin. #LUSHASFUCK. The self produced track by JMSN is the strong follow up to his debut song “Hotel”. Somebody get Drake on this shit.

Ashtar Command – Save Me (feat. Alex Ebert of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros)

ashtarcommand

Intergalactic super collective of rock veterans Chris Holmes and Brian Liesegang team up with the one and only Alex Ebert for a stellar collaboration. Folky, anthemic, Ziggy Stardust and commercial are just few words to describe the record which talks the masses.
